Bible Study, Job: The LORD's Discourse Pt I

Job 38:1-38

This week we examine Bildad's answer to Job's request that God pardon his sin. We see if there are clues in the text as to the authorship of Job. We affirm that the modern Bible we have is inspired and inerrant, just like the translated copy of Job that entered the Canon before Moses wrote Genesis. We explain the difference between poetry and prose. We consider why God was so blunt and unkind in addressing Job without acknowledging his suffering. We examine God's discourse on creation, geology, astronomy, meteorology, and philosophy. And uncover the one thing Job needs in order to answer, and relieve his suffering.
